I haven't posted as daily as I wanted to.  Here is a few on Mother's Day 2017

We caught it on video!

Today our little girl starts a new chapter in her life. When an infant becomes a toddler. Watching her change over the last year has been quite amazing. We watched her grow so quickly. Every moment was memorable.  When she first opened her eyes. When she first rolled over.  The first time she sat on her own and even more recently stood.  Thanks to everyone who was able to come celebrate her birthday with us. 

8 days before my birthday 

Today Tish went back to Canine Companions for Independence where she originally came from to go on to advanced training. We hope she does well and ends up with a person or place that needs her. We wish you the best in your journey Tish.  Here's moments before we turned her in:

The two photos are of Amilia eating pancakes at Mimi's Cafe (appropriately named) The last photo is of Amilia slightly leaning up against the couch.  She is very close to standing on her own!

Just another weekend. 

She loves sprouts

Daddy tried playing R&B, not interested.  He tried playing Country, still no interest.  He put on a dance mix from Amazon and boom!  We are dancing. We might have a dancer in the family.  She can make up for what mommy and daddy don't like to do :)

Amilia had a busy week and a half. We are still in the midst of it.  The day before Christmas Eve Amilia spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa Gordon in Sonora. Then on Christmas Eve she spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa Kelemen's house in Woodside. On Christmas we came home and spent the night there before heading to visit Amilia's godparents, Kristi and Cristian in Ohio. She had a lot of fun being with her godparents and playing with her cousin Bennett.  Tomorrow we welcome Allie into the family as we attend Balint and her wedding. That will wrap up 2016 for Amilia. She's had busy last weeks of 2016. On to 2017! Here are some photos from the past week.  Opening gifts in Sonora Excited about her present in Sonora Playing with her new toy Grandma Denise and Mia Grandpa Jim, Grandma Denise, and Mia Mom, Grandma Kathy, and Mia Group photo at the Kelemen house Mia and Bennett in Ohio Mia bundled up a...

Leading up to nine months has been a lot of progress. Minus the cold she has, but is slowly recovering from.  Just in the last week she is climbing up to a standing position. Just today we got it on camera.  Thanks to her cousins for the Frozen bus. She really like playing with it. The two pictures below were taken moments after each other. She pulled her self up to the fence, then crawled over to her frozen toy and pulled herself into a sitting position. Daddy was home and has no idea how she progressed to sitting on a toy. Time is going by so quickly.
